Cattle dogs are extremely brave, intelligent and active. These traits can either make one of the best pets, or one of the most dangerous. If you don't give them enough exercise and training they end up bored and will usually turn into terrors.
I have a cattle dog that knows the commands sit,stay (she will easily wait in place for an hour while I shop) lie down, up (to jump onto something or climb a ladder) down, jump (as in a fence), in, out (to move away from me) and fetch. She learnt all of these when I got her at six months and it took me only a few weeks. She is excellent around kids and chases all wildlife away.

You really must exercise them a lot- that means running. They are extremely loyal and affectionate AND protective. They are not mean, but they will not allow anything bad to happen to you. They are one of THE smartest breeds- learn, understand, listen, remember. It's great if you can get a mix- I have an aus. cattle mix whom I rescued 5 years ago and he has been a prince. These dogs are often one-dog shows. By that I mean he does not want another dog in the picture in our house. Very friendly outside the house and yard tho-plays well with others.
